Tchoula Tchokonte Department of Physics & Astronomy Tel./Fax: +2721 959 3465; Cell: +2771 878 6879 mtchokonte@uwc.ac.za Bibliography Prof Tchoula Tchokonte is an Associate professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of the Western Cape, South Africa. He obtained his DEA in Theoretical Solid State Physics at the University of Yaounde, Cameroon, his MSc degree in Theoretical Solid State Physics and PhD degree in experimental Condensed Matter Physics at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa. He is a member of the South African Institute of Physics (SAIP) and has been a regular Associate of the Abdu Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), Trieste, Italy. His activities are based on experimental research in Strongly Correlated Electron Systems (SCES) and Magnetism of rare earth compounds. His research on these compounds involves measurements, analysis and interpretation of transport and thermodynamic properties such as electrical resistivity, magnetoresistivity, thermoelectric power, thermal conductivity, magnetic susceptibility, magnetization, magnetocaloric effect and specific heat capacity over a broad range of temperature and magnetic fields. He has published several research papers in peer – reviewed research journals and presented his research finding and interpretations at several n
